How do I tell which Ford 600 I have?

730diesel · Feb 13, 2019

The other day I posted this thread:
https://www.yesterdaystractors.com/cgi-bin/viewit.cgi?bd=ford&th=662561
about my slow hyds when cold. Someone replied about it being a 641.

How does a person tell if the tractor is a 600, 641, 621, etc? I'm confused.

Also, put 10W hyd oil in tractor today. Still really slow. Put knipco on bottom of tractor for 10 minutes before 3 pt went up. Ugggh.

600 and 601 were series of Ford tractors. The individual models within those series varied depending on the middle digit. 641 was a model in the 601 series that had a 4 speed transmission and factory 3 point lift hydraulics and transmission driven (non-live) PTO.

The 4 speed models never had live PTO as an option, and the shifter is different from the 5 speed shifter, so most folks can determine from pictures that it has a 4 speedor a 5 speed. From your pictures in that thread, it actually looks like a 600 series tractor, so if it has a 4 speed transmission it is more likely a 640 than a 641. You can use the information at the link below to determine exactly what model your tractor is:

THX! The front emblem says 600. I've got a 4 spd with 3 pt and non live PTO.

Left brake pedal runs thru the bellhousing it's a 600 serties model 640.

The model and serial numbers are faintly stamped on top0 of the flat spot on the bell housing under the air cleaner and behind the starter. e.g. 640 100000
